Any Easy Way To Find Where The Oxygen Leak Is In My Base?

[Colonel_Camel]

Whenever I install a ventilator into a particular room of my base, my base's oxygen system conks out. As far as I can tell, the room is sealed, but obviously it isn't. Is there any easy way to determine where the problem is?

I've figured out how to use the "oxygen" console command, but it doesn't give any obvious indications of leaks that I can see. It just places oxygen 'diamonds' in oxygenated squares.

click N on keyborad then click debug top right of that window that opened then tick show airtight blocks

Is the room filled with "O2 diamonds"? If so, you may need more tanks. Perhaps the base is so big you don't have enough tanks to fill the base?

Or doors, airtight - true/false

Also make sure you have no protruding dirt and rock from the walls if you're either partially or totally underground. Since ground is NOT air tight

This was it. Thanks. :D

Not so much that I didn't have enough tanks, but rather that they weren't filled enough. I'm certain that I'd filled them to capacity originally, but as some point I've lost a heap of that oxygen. Anyhoo, a refill fixed the problem right up.

I know this isn't exactly what you were asking but decided to post it to help anyway :)

You lose oxygen from the tanks every time you either:

- Turn on the oxygen when the first ventilator is installed.
- Add a new room and fill it with oxygen by adding a vent.
- Remove an outer block that creates a leak.
- Turn the air supply on/off after you have patched a leak.
- Add more vents to cover areas of the base outside of the first vent's range.

You can test it by filling all oxygen tanks and making a hole in your base or making a new room and adding/removing the air vent to see the tank level drop when you activate it a second time after the leak fix.

I haven't played for months so I maybe be slightly wrong.

You also lose oxygen by using it.
